Ethereal Traveler

Ethereal Traveler Lyrics

Swirling the bottomless space
And seeing the birth of flickering flames
My ark departing from home
I am alone once again

Other life seem so far
As my vessel battles the storms
Like a stranger lost on it's way

The further away we get from the Earth
The closer we come to the world beyond

Fragments of earthly landscapes
Dissolve in a fallout haze
Disappearing like the fleeting illusions
From a distant childhood dream
Fleeing from the horrid reality

Now I see what our life has been -
2000 years of consuming agony
Spent in search of an exit
Form the catacombs of our mind

Denying our phobias and fears
We're seeking evidence of our supremacy
Invent the theory of evolution
Avoid acknowledging regress
Self-proclaimed masters of the mind
Yet remain servants of our instincts

The Old Testament has lost it's laws
The values of the past are forsaken
Time and space have merged at a breakpoint
What awaits ahead no one knows

We may be able to cheat death
But fate we can't avoid
And those who follow in our footsteps
Will squander the grasp of wisdom

And will be left in charge of the riddles
Whose essence is not meant to be revealed
Our names and faces will be forgotten
Or become icons of the idol gods
Our heirs are doomed to be the servants of the cannon code
As they forget their heretic past

Who knows
If space walk leads into eternity
But what I know for sure
Is I don't wish to be another brick
A brick in a cemetery wall
